communal meals

bathroom smell

missing mirror

suitcase placement

Communal meals created a welcoming atmosphere where guests could easily mingle and share experiences. The suite's terrace offered stunning stargazing opportunities, enhancing the overall charm of the stay.

There was an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom drains that needs attention. A mirror in the room would really improve the experience, especially when you need to look presentable for events. It would also help to have a clothes horse for luggage rather than putting it on the bed, which felt less than ideal.

Our stay was amazing! The views from the Queen Room with Garden View were stunning, and the ocean views were ideal for whale watching.

communal vibe

William and his team really made our stay memorable with their delicious homemade dinner and cozy atmosphere, along with perfect morning coffee and fresh fruit salad. The outdoor swimming pool and chill garden area were perfect spots to unwind and soak up the sun. I wish the communal vibe was a bit quieter at times, but overall, it was a fantastic experience! 🌞

The stay featured breathtaking sea views, especially from the King Room with Sea View, making it a visual delight. The indulgent pastry offered in the morning was a nice touch, elevating breakfast. there was a persistent unpleasant odor coming from the bathroom drains, and a mirror in the room would have been practical. a clothes horse for the suitcase would have improved the comfort of our stay.
